Anyone got a DIY on the installation of the RSQ5 honeycomb grille on the pre-facelift Q5?

If you don't mind, you can pm me the response if you please. Where did you purchase it from and for how much? I had everything set in place and was excited about the order and price ($285 total with shipping from a dealer on Alibaba app). Then Covid -19 happened and my shipment was lost. received a refund and havent attempted since. Elsawin or alldata dyi ( I have both) has the removal and install of front bumper and you can go by that and then remove grille. Let me know if I can be of assistance.

Hey buddy, I was gonna buy it from Ali or wish our actually even ebay. But I'm buying it locally, some store has it in stock. As for the dyi, I know the general gist of it, but just want to know if there's any difference to the diys online for the facelifted models.

From what I understand, not many mods if any

update: took about 1.5 hours with poor lighting - a lot of the write-ups and videos neglect to mention how to get the grill out once you have unscrewed all the torx, what to do with the homelink (i just took the casing off and zapped it in the corner out of the way); and the most annoying and time consuming is the trim at the bottom of the grille which you need to take off the stock grill. Anywho, its all done and it looks phresh AF!
